Running back Stevan Ridley spoke today for the first time in several weeks, and he was again open and accountable while discussing his fumbling issues.

Before Ridley met with the group of media, he spoke to the Herald for about 10 minutes. Here's a snippet.

"You’ve just got to keep pushing. The year is going to bring you unexpected difficulties," Ridley said. "It’s going to bring you some things that you’re going to enjoy, but that’s part of the game. You’re going to have your ups and downs. Through it all, you have to try your best to remain consistent, try to do what you’re supposed to do. That’s the biggest thing that I’ve learned. You’ve also got to depend on your faith and what you believe in. I just really believe that God will never put you through more than you can handle, and you’ve got to learn through the tough times and grow from it. At the end of the day, it’s going to be what it is, and you’ve got to keep playing football."

Read tomorrow's Herald for much more from Ridley, who opened up about the day of his benching and the tactics he has taken to get through the fumbling.
